Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Furniture designs, including technical drawings for two dressing tables and a decorative screen; Sundial; and A design for Vogue by Sergei Chekhonin was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,888.15). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sergei Chekhonin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Life With Roses, Anemones And Chrysanthemums In A Chinese Vase in June 2021 with an auction result of GBP 275,000.00 (€ 320,446.49).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Furniture designs, including technical drawings for two dressing tables and a decorative screen; Sundial; and A design for Vogue von Sergei Chekhonin im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.888,15) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sergei Chekhonin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Life With Roses, Anemones And Chrysanthemums In A Chinese Vase im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 275.000,00 (€ 320.446,49).
